The compact holster was designed to allow gun barrels to stick out the bottom. Because of the open bottom, it can accommodate a longer barrel length than our full size holster which has a more closed off bottom.

However, our full size holster option provides more leg protection and barrel coverage. Please check the Will Fit List first to determine which holster will best fit your firearm.

Unfortunately, no. Our holsters are designed to fit just the firearm by locking around the frame.

Adding attachments will affect the position of the firearm, and therefore, it’s retention. Customers have reported certain attachments or suppressors do fit in combination with their firearm, but those occurrences are rare.

Unfortunately, our customers have had little success modifying our holster.

Our holsters are not made of KYDEX®, which is an easier material to modify, but rather a nylon polymer that does not reform well with heat.

If you do choose to modify and change our holster it will automatically void our manufacturers warranty.

We have seen people testing the holster by putting the gun in it and turning it over. While the holster will hold many guns securely that way, we do not recommend that as a retention test.

To best test retention, attach the holster to your belt or pants and insert your firearm. The tension of the body against the holster increases the grip on the firearm and is an accurate test of how it will perform when you wear it.

The first Stealth Operator holsters were made out of KYDEX®.

As we grew and our knowledge expanded we discovered a process and material for creating our high quality holsters. We now use the fully injection mold process for precision developed holsters.

We achieve this with a nylon polymer that is not only more heat resistant than KYDEX®, but also more durable. To prove this, we’ve run our holsters over with a truck and they survived. Can you say that about KYDEX®?
